Conference Calls

You can conference together up to eight parties (including your own) - with up to six
parties being external network lines. The actual number of conference parties with
acceptable volume levels depends on the local and far end telephone line conditions.

The person who initiates the conference call is the Master. If, after the conference is
established and the Master exits the conference, the first station to have been added to
the conference becomes the Master.

To conference calls

1. While on a call, press

&QI7UQ

. You hear dial tone and your Line LED flashes green.

2. Call another station or outside line.

3. When the called party answers, press

&QI7UQ

. If you receive a busy tone or no

answer, press

&QI7UQ

again to return to the original connection.

All parties are conferenced. If the second call was placed on a

/LQH

that appears on

your telephone, the LED also flashes green.

4. Repeat the above steps to add lines to the conference. Keep in mind the maximum

number of allowed conference parties.

Note

When the “master” of the conference hangs up, the control is automatically
transferred to the first internal station added to the conference call. If no other
internal stations are included in the conference call, the call will be
disconnected.

To transfer conference control

1. Do Steps 1 and 2 above to add the line to which you wish to transfer conference

control. See previous Note.

2. Announce the call and hang up to transfer it. This station now becomes the

conference “master” with the ability to add or delete parties.

To hold a conference call

If you are the Conference Master, press the

+ROG

key once (or twice for Executive

Hold) to place the conference call on hold. The other parties can continue with the
conference. Music-on-hold is suppressed and your extension LED flashes green.
You can rejoin the conference at any time by pressing your extension button. When
you return, you retain Master status.
